Base-catalyzed depolymerization of lignin and hydrodeoxygenation of lignin model compounds for alternative fuel production

This study considered the potential use of lignin as possible renewable fuel and chemical feedstock source. Among the various polymers present in lignocellulosic biomass, the polyaromatic lignin is the one component that is most chemically similar to petroleum. However, it still contains a much larg...
